SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 468,524, dated February9, 189.2.

Application filed July 20, 1891. Serial No. 400,134-- (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARDPHILLIPS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Detroit, county of \Vayne, State of Michigan,

5 have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Screw Cuttingand Pointing Machines; and Ideclare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the IQ art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part ofthis specification.

My invention relates to certain new and r5 useful improvements in ascrew cutting and pointing machine, and more particularly to a machinefor cutting screw-threads upon screwbolts, where it is used as ascrew-cutting machine.

20' The invention consists of the device and appliances, theircombinations and arrangements, as hereinafter described and claimed, andillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which 25 Figure 1 is a planView of a machine embodying my invention.

Fig. 28 is asection across the gripping jaws and guide bar, showing a bolt engagedthereby. Fig. 29 is a separate view of the arm L". Fig. 30 is a view ofa blank-bolt to be threaded. Fig. 31

is a view of a bolt when threaded by my improved machine. Fig. is a Viewin perspective of the dog 6 Fig. 33 is a plan view of parts of themachine. Fig. 34 is a detail view of mechanism for holding the feedersto allow the bolt to be threaded a desired distance.

Hitherto in the manufacture of screw-bolts it has been found difficultto thread. the tapering point and the attendant has fed the bolts singlyto the dies, which have necessa- 8o rily had to travel along the boltseveral times to out the thread deep enough. This has consequently beena slow and unsatisfactory process.

It is one of the main objects in this invention to provide a machinewhich will cut threads upon both the body and the point of the bolt inone and the same operation, and which will cut the threads of therequired depth in both at a single travel of the dies 0 and cuttersalong the bolt. Another object of my invention is to cut a conical pointon a bolt or screw. My invention is therefore calculated to greatlyfacilitate the manufacture of screw-bolts and to reduce the cost of 5manufacture.

With this object in view the machine is made automatically operative andof such ca pacity as to point or thread the bolts rapidly. To this endcertain portions of the mechan- 10o ism are duplicated to double itscapacity and save hand labor.

I carry out my invention as follows:

A represents any suitable supporting-frame.

A is the driving-shaft, suitably journaled on the frame, provided withpulleys a a a providing for the shifting of the driving-belts .A andreversing the motion of the machine in a well-known manner by crossingone of the belts.

A is a belt-shifting device, which will be more fully hereinafterdescribed.

The driving-shaft is provided with a pinion a meshing with a gear B on ashaft 13, properly j ournaled on the frame. This latter shaft isprovided with a pinion b, meshing with a gear B and the shaft b',whichis provided with a pinion b meshing with a gear B the shaft of which isprovided with a gear 12 meshing with gears B B to turn them in the samedirection. B B are the shafts on which the gears B B respectively aremounted. These shafts carry automatically-operated feedingarms 0 O forcarrying the bolts to the dies and cutters.

D is a chuck to engage the head of the bolt and hold it while it isbeing threaded. This chuck is engaged upon the shaft 1).

The shaft B runs longitudinally of the ma- I chine and is threaded toform a feed-screw.

At the end thereof opposite the driving-pulleys said shaft is providedwith a pinion b meshing with a gear b on the shaft 19 ,011 which isengaged a chuck D, corresponding to the chuck D, forming a duplicatethereof. The special construction of these chucks will be furtherreferred to.

E E denote feeding-chutes, within which the bolts F are placed by theattendant, the chutes being open at their upper ends for theirreception. Through these chutes the bolts are fed to the feeding-arms OC, respectively. Each chute is provided at its lower end with aspring-actuated retaining-arm E hinged thereto on the lower side, asshown at e, so constructed as to normally close the base of the chuteand hold the bolts therein. 0n the opposite side from thearm E the baseof the chute is open to allow the feeding-arms to enter and pick out thelower bolt, as at E E is the support for the chute.

The feeding-arms O C oscillate back and forth, and each consists,essentially, of an arm C engaged upon one of the shafts B B said arm atits outer extremity being provided with a fixed beak or jaw C and with aspringactuated pivoted beak or jaw C. The pivoted engagement of thelatter is shown at c. The points of said jaws are so formed that thefixed jaw C in operation enters the chute between the lower bolt and theone above, the bolt being caught between the ends of the jaws in thedownward throw of the arm 0 the springC engaged with the outer end ofthe beak C and with the arm 0 securely clamping the bolt between thejaws as it is carried from the chute to the chuck below. In thisoperation the arm E springs back to allow the feeding-arm to pass, theupper surface of the jaw C serving to hold the remaining bolts in thechute as the feeding-arm passes along until the arm E has opportunity tofly back into normal position.

E is a guide-bar lying adjacent to the path of the feeding arm to crowdthe bolts laterally in the gripping-jaws to bring their heads intoproper alignment for their engagement by the chuck.

To more effectually bind andhold the bolts in the gripping-arm thegripping-jaws are so constructed and arranged in connection withadjacent parts that they connot be released from the bolt until the boltis past the base of the feed-channel chute. To this end the jaw C isprovided with a lateral flange c at its outer end, and the bar E isprovided with an outstanding dog 6 to engage upon the upper surface ofsaid flange as the flange is carried downward. The effect, as will bereadily seen, will be to exert a strong leverage to force thecorresponding j aw upon the bolt and effectually prevent anyunseasonable loosening thereof. hen the chuck has grasped the bolt, thefeeding-arm is retracted by the reversal of the driving mechanism to itsnormal position.

On the shaft Z) is located a friction-clutch F, consisting, essentially,of an inner head F provided with a hub F keyed upon said shaft. Thusthis head has a fixed engagement on the shaft (9 and always rotatestherewith. Over this inner head is located a shell F made in two partsff, having a movable orloose engagement upon said hub, and which may betightened upon the inner head, as desired, by means of screws f unitingthe parts ff. Between the shell F and the inner head and on either sideof said head are placed two washers f f, of leather or other suitablematerial. As so constructed it is evident that the shell will slip whenthe strain overcomes the friction of the shell upon the inner head. Uponthis shell the gear I) is engaged, which rotates the gear B actuatingthe shafts B B when the clutch is operative. To limit the movement ofthe feeding-arms, the shafts upon which they are engaged are providedwith stops C arranged to strike upon a corresponding stop O so locatedas to receive the impact of theformer stop on the downward movement ofthe arm when it has reached the desired point. The consequence is tocause the slipping of the shell F upon the head F until the drivingmechanism is reversed.

G and G are cross-heads, having a reciprocatory movement upon the frameA by means of the feed-screw engaged therewith, the crossheads beingduplicates one ofthe other and carrying duplicate mechanism for holdingand actuating the screw-threading dies and cutters. Each cross-head ispreferably provided with a double set of die and cuttermechanisms tofacilitate the operation of cutting the threads.

G and G- denote bed-plates, having a laterses,524

ally-movable engagement on the underlying cross-head to allow the diesand cutters to be retracted from and advanced to the work. To this 'endthe bed-plates may have a dovetailed en gagementon the cross-head, asshown at g.

II and H represent a set of die-heads mounted on said bed-plates andhaving a movable engagement thereupon. To guide the movement of thedie-heads, the frame A is provided with guide-plates J, constructed witha guideway J and guide-flanges J J J said guide-plate being, preferably,made with double guideways and flanges to operate each set of die-headsat each end of the machine.

It Will be seen that the two cross'heads G G are located between the twochucks D D, and that when they reciprocate they move in oppositedirections to carry the dies and cutters to the work. Consequently onthe guideplates the guide flanges and ways are correspondingly formedand arranged. The dieheads are each provided with a guide-lug Hconstructed and arranged to move in the corresponding guideway of theguide-plate, thereby to direct the course of the die-head as de-. sired.The guide-flange J it will be seen, constructed with an angular faceadjacent to the guideway, forces the corresponding diehead inward as thecross-head moves longitudinally. The flange J holds the die-head to thework while the dies and cutters are doing their work. The flanges J 4direct the dieheads away from the work.

H and H represent a set of dies engaged with the die-head H H,respectively, arranged to cut the threads on the body of the bolt.

K and K denote cutter-heads engaged upon the bed-plates G2 G carryingcutters K K arranged to cut the threads on the beveled point of thebolt. These cutters are preferably removable to allow different kinds ofcutters to be employed. In this way single or multiple threads can beout upon the points, as may be desired.

K denotes a set-screw to hold the cutters in place in the cutter-head.It is found desirable to give to the cutter-heads a yielding movement.Accordingly they have each a jointed engagement with the correspondingdie-head, as shown at K a spring K being provided to keep the cutter toits normal position. It is also, found advisable to locate the die onthe one side of the bolt so as to cut above the horizontal center of thebolt, and the other die so as to cut on the under side of the bolt. Tothis end the die-heads H and H are arranged one as an upper die-head andthe other the lower die-head. So, also, the cutters are arranged in acorresponding manner, and the cutter-heads are likewise arranged one asan upper cutter-head and the other as the lower cutter-head. In soarranging the die-heads and cutter-heads it will be convenient to havethe jointed union of the cutter-heads with the die-heads, the one aboveand the other below the bed-plates (l G In Fig. 8, therefore, thejointed union is shown above and in Fig. 9 it is shown below, the twoheads being formed with bracket arms h 70, at the extremities of whichis the jointed union K to allow for the yielding of the cutter-head. Thecutter-heads are provided at their outer ends with guide-rollers K toform a movable. contact with the side of the adjacent guideplate, saidplate at the side being provided with a lateral guide-strip J securedthereto, and preferably adjustable thereon. As the roller rides alongthe face of the guide-strip it will be moved inward or outward thereby,and the movement of the underlying bedplate may carry the roller outwardand away from contact with said strip. The die-heads are provided withjaws h to engage the bolt on either side toward the extremity to bethreaded and hold it firmly. The cross-heads G and G are held insuitable adjustment with each other, so that each will move the requireddistance, by an adjusting-screw G threaded in opposite directions, byrotating which the cross-heads will be moved nearer together or fartherapart, as required, to regulate their position in accordance with thelength of the bolt to be threaded. As so constructed and arranged, it isevident that the dies and cutters feed back laterally to open andrelease the bolt and feed forward to close upon the work. As shown, thecutters are arranged so that their cuttingedges lie at an angle to thedies, so as properly to engage the beveled point. Moreover, theoperation and relation of the chuck and the cutting mechanism one to theother is such that just before the opening of the dies the chuck springsback into normal position, allowing the bolt to drop. The dies are alsoso arranged that one cuts a little in advance of the other.

L denotes the belt-shifting bar, provided with devices Z to engage thebelts and with movable collars Z engaged thereupon. By the properadjustment of these collars the shifting-bar is thrown a longer orshorter stroke.

L is a rod engaged upon the adjacent crosshead and provided withadjustable collars Z the adjustment of which determines the length ofthe threaded portion to be cut on the bolt.

. L is a transverse rocker-bar provided with weighted arms L L L is aslotted arm on the rocker bar, through which the rocker-bar passes,extending upward to be engaged by the collars Z. It is clear that whenthe cross-head moves in one direction one of the collars Z will strikethe slotted arm L and carry it toward a vertical position and past thecenter of gravity.

ITO

hen past the center, the weighted arm on v the same side the center willquickly rock the slotted arm over, causing its extremity to strike theopposite collar on the shifting-bar, and thereby throwing theshifting-bar accordingly, reversing the motion. Upon this taking placethe shifting mechanism will operate in like manner in the oppositedirection, and so alternately reverse the motion.

The chucks D D each consists of a head D having a reciprocatory movementupon the shaft b, said head constructed with an annular peripheralgroove (Z and with jaws D pivotally engaged within the head, as shown atd, and projecting forwardly therefrom. The shaft 12', upon which thechuck is mounted, is channeled, as shown at 19 b the channels beingbeveled at their forward ends, as shown in Fig. 22, and provided with apoint I) to project forward between the front end of the jaws to forcethe bolt out of engagement therewith, the shaft at the rear end of thepoint-constructed with beveled faces I9 The jaws are also formed withbeveled faces toward their forward ends, as at 02 and with recesses dhaving an angular. form at the rear, as shown in Figs. 19 and 22. As soconstructed it is evident that as the head D is reciprocated on theshaft the jaws will be opened at their forward extremity as the head isretracted to allow the bolt to drop therefrom, the rear of the jawsbeing forced downward into the channels Z2 12 A contrary movement willcorrespondingly contract the forward ends of the jaws ready to engagethe head of the bolt. At their forward ends the jaws are preferablyconstructed with their proximal faces of angular form, arranged, asshown in,

Fig. 20, to engage the square head of the bolt when the chuck is moving,whatever may-be theshape in which the head is presented to said jaws.The angular faces of the jaws are provided with oppositely-extendedangles d d against the faces of which the head of the bolt engages, andis thereby prevented from turning in the operation of threading. In thismanner the jaws need not clamp the bolt rigidly, but are open in themovement of the head to allow the head of the bolt to drop upon the saidledges and be held thereby. The head is held upon the shaft from turningindependent thereof by grooving the sides of the shaft and constructingthe head with ribs entering said grooves, as shown at d. The specialconstruction of the chuck forms the subject-matter of separate claims inan accompanying application filed of eve date herewith.

The head D is reciprocated in the following manner.

I denotes a carriage having a reciprocatory engagement with the frame A.The carriage is provided with an upwardly-extended shoulder 1, formedwith lateral arms 2' 2", constructed to engage the annular groove d ofthe chuck.

I is a locking-bar constructed with a bev-= eled face i and shoulder 2'at its forward end and pivoted to the frame, as at 2'. The cross heads GG are provided with a lifting-lug g, so arranged that when the head hasmoved and 6.

sufficiently toward the carriage the lug lifts the locking-bar.

M is a shaft engaged upon the carriage, provided with a retractingspring M to thrust the carriage back to its normal position when thelocking mechanism is released. This shaft M has a sliding engagement inthe adjacent cross-head G, as in an orifice 9 Fig. 4. Two rods N Nengage the carriage and have a sliding engagement in a crossbeam A ofthe frame, as shown in Figs. 5 These bars prevent the chuck beingcarried too far in the direction of the work.

While I have thus far described my invention as adapted for ascrew-cutting machine, it will be seen that the same is adapted equallywell as a screw or bolt pointing machine.

By removing the cutters K and K and introducing into the cutter-heads KK straightedged cutters a conical point can be cut on the screw or bolt,and I design this modification and use of the machine as coming withinthe scope of my invention.

0, Fig. 2, denotes an oil-tank provided with oil-ducts O to lead the oilto the dies.

To allow the dies to out well up to the head of the bolt the jaws It maybe removed, in which case it will be necessary to hold the bolt untilthe dies have a firm engagement therewith. To do this I provide meanswhereby the feeders may retain a longer hold upon the bolt after thechuck has taken held thereof. Thus, for example, the gears B B may beloosely mounted upon their respective shafts and said shafts be providedwith disks R, rigidly engaged upon the. shaft, provided with an arm r.The gears B B are provided with lugs 0, against which said arms mayengage. It will be seen that the gears, as represented in connectionwith the gear B in Fig. 5, may have a loose motion until the lug rengages the arm 7", when the disk and its shaft will be rotated. Thispermits the feeders to remain at the point of delivery while the gears BB are making the rotation to engage the lug rwith the arm r. By thattime the dies have a firm engagement with the work.

The cross-heads G G and the chucks and related mechanism are preferablyarranged to operate alternately at the two ends of the machine.

In operation the bolts are fed into the chutes E by an assistant, wherethey slide down, as shown in Figs. 23 and 25. The feeding-arms thenswing up, and each takes a bolt from its respective chute and carries itdown and deposits it in its respective chuck. The dieheads then moveforward and their cutters cut the threads, after which they move backand the chucks open and let the bolts fall out. In the meantime thefeeding-arms have returned to the chutes and each has received anotherbolt, which it carries to the chuck IIO again move forward and cut thethreads.

and deposits, as before, and the die-heads In this manner the onlymanual labor required is to feed the bolts to the chutes, as the machinedoes the rest of the work automatically.
